Positive experience: Love the sports centre & have been attending for several activities since 1974 but recently the lockers have been a problem. Today the only locker working I used was broken into, relocked by the thief & my car key taken from my trousers. Car then stolen from the car park with my wallet, cards, driving licence & house keys. The JWSC staff have always been incredible & especially today. Shame on the South Lanarkshire Council for not financing the safety & security needs for the center. Hope the other sports centres are better supported

Fantastic experience: Superlative public health and leisure facility.
Positive experience: It's great to see generations using this sports centre to do different activities. My only gripe is dirty mats (I practice aikido). Apart from that this place has plenty of activities for everyone.
Positive experience: Would score higher if they could get a separate space for the 1 million 12 year olds that seem to frequent the gym
Positive experience: Decent track. Field area is a bit boggy and the jump runways could do with a clean but you can still get decent training done here.
Fantastic experience: Great place to go
Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Went for grandsons football nice wee pitches pity about the weather
Fantastic experience: First went in the front door 51 years ago. Nit a great deal different but a great venue
Positive experience: This comment is about the EV charging pods, not the actual JW Sports Centre. The chargers (22kW and 50kW) are owned/operated by ChargePlace Scotland. I registered weeks ago and have a CPS card. Some weeks ago, I went there to charge as my car was down to 17% but none of the EV chargers recognised my CPS card. Even worse, none of them recognised my debit card. I was desperate and had to call the CPS customer care number, and luckily my call was answered. I was told that my account had been locked for some unknown reason. The gent was helpful and he unlocked my account, and I was finally able to charge my car.
Fantastic experience: In order to get to John Write sports center you can take 18 number bus which will drop you next to the center. The place have various sports activities for kids and adults
Fantastic experience: Nicest telling off I've ever had. Popped in to see what training recovery program they have for post cardiac rehabilitation. Told by the two lovely ladies to behave and wait till the surgeon says that I'm ready
Positive experience: Staff great but very run down
Fantastic experience: Very friendly people, a lot of opportunities to spend time active, will recommend 100%
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Brilliant gym
Negative experience: After about seven months being a member not so sure if I'll be there in the new year, don't get me wrong some new equipment has been implemented I wouldn't say it's the best, however a big concern is the quality of hygiene the cleaner of the male changing rooms leaves a lot to be disred I'd hate to see inside of his house cobwebs been there clearly longer than a year lockers not serviced correctly or cleaned areas stained with uirine not addressed, changing rooms closed superceeding school children over paying customers, PT staff letting gym users using fire exits drinking fountains out of order and male toilet on first floor been out of order for five months, this is by far encouraging or reflective towards monthly fees
Fantastic experience: Great sport centre very friendly staff love going there
Fantastic experience: Great trip again. Lovely polite driver.
Positive experience: It has a surprisingly large number of sports halls, including a wee gym and a squash court. It's not the most modern and could do with having a more accessible drinking fountain, but it's an excellent local resource.

Positive experience: I would love to see the old cafeteria area reinstated...it took the heart out of the centre putting an ugly bus styled partition.
